We can stop rape in India, there is only one-way Indian parliament should give permission for brothels in India. Then I am 1000% sure innocent girls will not become a victim, Even boys will stop looking the girl, Even stop talk with girls. All boys will think there are only 1000 rupees for go to a brothel. Then there is no any boy who will take the risk to do rape of the innocent girl. If the government allow the licenced brothels in India. Then there will no any rape happen with the innocent girls.

Capital punishment is necessary, and applicable in India, as this will set an example to others, securing not only peace but the confidence of the citizens in the government. Confining a person with capital crime in prison leaves the victims or the family of the victims in fear and distress and later develop lack of confidence towards the government and also maintaining a high security prison and protocols for such convicts is expensive for government maintenance (whereas we can use this funds for the development of the nation) and India is capable for initiating capital punishment because we have an independent judiciary (so no politicizing of justice and capital punishment will not be misused). In conclusion, I don't want to know that Osama bin Ladin or any other terrorists and rapist running around or sitting in prison with a chance of jailbreak.

It should be banned because in India. We all aware of the Indian judicial system, our's is the system in which you are a celebrity then it doesn't matter what is your crime?

So when we can't able to punish the rich, then we should also not discriminate against other sections. And it is also a cruelty to humans, although criminals are also an enemy of humanity but we are civilians so how can we go with jungle laws (as capital punishment) !

Come forward and protest against it.

According to me, one that has made the justice system fail in India is the doctrine " RAREST OF THE RARE'. Because of this 99.99% of mass murderers get away scot free and retributive justice has become a non-sequitur.

In my opinion, the only way punishment would work would be 'retributive justice' and all other objectives such as rehabilitation and reformative justice are bull-shit and need to be scrapped.

It should not be banned, while in the case of the rarest to rare, execution must be on public place.

Capital punishment should not be banned in India rather it should be used only in only certain cases where the criminal deserves a hard but not harsh one whereas in cases of rape, honour killing the criminal should not be hanged to death rather should be given life imprisonment where the criminal should be beaten on a daily basis where he would cry for death, but death would be given to him so that every person who thinks of raping a girl would first think of its consequences.

Capital punishment should be banned. I have many reasons for saying this. Firstly, man does not have the right to kill. It is up to the gods alone. Secondly, the death penalty does not entirely deter crime. Those who want to kill will do it whatever the consequences. Thirdly, innocent victims are being killed, sometimes. They may have not been capable enough to prove their case, so they were called guilty. Finally, the families of those killed go through severe mental trauma and loss. I am sure I wasn't the only one who saw the mother and sister of Myuran Sukumaran on the day of his execution in Indonesia for a drug case.

But this doesn't mean that justice should not be served. People should face the consequences of their wrong doings. Someone who has taken the life of another doesn't deserve to live. But is is not us who should make the ultimate decision, it is God.

Capital punishment should not be banned. It application in some serious cases is useful. Cases like terrorism, capital punishment is necessary. If we not hang them, then we spent lot of money for their security and other things. Which is wrong. If we hang them then we can save lot of money. We can use this save money for the developement of India. So why we keep them in Prison And waste our useful money.

I think capital punishment should be abolished. Capital punishment is not the only way to reduce crime rate instead of capital punishments we have to change the thoughts of criminals and make them realise about the mistake. Only way to reduce the crime rate is to change the thoughts of people but not severe punishments.

According to me, capital punishment should not be banned because terrorists like the ones who would be executed will think 10 times before doing a crime.
